As read on Observer: "In her work, she has found that new projects often find their genesis in the one that came before. “Like a bookmark,” the artist describes how she often uses the thought-process of her previous work as a jumping off point to approach something new. With this in mind, we can no doubt expect more beautifully strange organic matters in whatever follows her solo American-debut."

Latvian artist Daiga Grantina may use man-made, industrial materials, but one can’t shake the feeling that her installations might actually be alive.

Among 20 events not to miss in New York this week, is the opening of Daiga Grantina's first solo US show "What Eats Around Itself", opening ☀️TODAY☀️ at the New Museum!

The show includes a site-specific sculptural installation suspended from wooden planks that mimic the growth of lichen. The sculpture’s amorphous structure appears to be growing and decomposing all at once, much as lichen reproduces and consumes its own biological matter.

Daiga Grantina represented Latvia at the 58th La Biennale di Venezia with a solo exhibition "Saules Suns" ☀️

Each week, we search New York City for the most exciting and thought-provoking shows, screenings, and events. See them here.

Karina Kottová and Piotr Sikora (Czech Republic) Not so boring anymore The year 2019 on the Czech art scene was with no doubt one of the most turbulent in the recent half of a decade. While new institutional and artistic modes of operations were in progress, the process of dismantling the old order...

Coming to the New Museum: "What Eats Around Itself" marks artist Daiga Grantina's first US institutional solo exhibition. Grantina's large-scale assemblages emulate the natural world, often resembling terrariums, plants, and vegetation. Her New Museum presentation includes the premiere of a new, site-specific installation that interweaves cast silicone with paint and fabric. Opening January 21, 2020: http://bit.ly/Grantina

Latvijas Mākslas akadēmijas studente. Man bija gods pārstāvēt Latviju Venēcijas mākslas biennālē, prezentējot Daigas Grantiņas darbu „Saules suns”. Šī pieredze bija ļoti interesanta, jo „Saules suns” ir nepārtraukti mainīgs un daudzdimensionāls darbs, kurš gaismas ietekmē nemanāmi pārveidojas, veidojot harmonisku saspēli ar apkārtējo vidi. Bija patiess prieks komunicēt ar cilvēkiem no visas pasaules, dzirdēt viņu stāstus un asociācijas, ko raisījis šis darbs.
Esmu pateicīga par šo iespēju, kura deva daudz jaunus iespaidus un pieredzi mākslas pasaulē.
